Re: CBSN not loading live news

@OJP 

I am curious about that. Where on the Ultra are you seeing the CBS News app abbreviated that way? The Channel Store and the app should be the same for all Roku devices. Does your remote have a shortcut button for it?

I tried (delete, reboot, restore) twice and it failed. A Factory Reset was successful.

Sorry you had to go through that much trouble. Often that will do the trick. Glad it's now working though.

The CBSN feed is actually available within several free streaming services, including Pluto TV and Xumo, as well as paid services, such as Paramount+. If the CBS News app gives issues with the stream, you do have access to alternate sources for that feed.

Yes, I have been having the same problem for the last few days. In the Channel Store it is called CBS News. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but it still doesn't work.

Somehow the live streaming feature doesn't work on Roku anymore. I guess the app needs an update. Maybe CBS News is unaware of this.
